THE COUNTY ELECTION.
Elected
nuhber *
Hon. B. S. McGuire
Delightful Republican Weather.
Tuesday was a beautiful dav
just as if it was made expressly
tor the benefit of the republican
party, for it is well known that
republicans thrive on beautiful
weather. In consequence, an im-
mense vote was polled in every
state in the union, and the re-
publicans scored an immense vic-
tory, carrying every northern
state by increased majorities and
rolling up 325 electoral votes for
Roosevelt and Fairbanks.
New \ork gave an immense
majority for the presidential ticket
and elected Higgins, republican
candidate for governor, by a big
plurality Indiana, New Jersey"
West Virginia, Connecticut, Colo-
rado, Montana and all the doubt
states rolled up fine majorities.

Saturday's Big Crowd
Probably one of the largest
crowds ever assembled in Nor-
man was here Saturday, and the
streets and sidewalks were almost
unpassable during the entire day.
Every merchant in the city re-
ported a record breaking business
and their only complaint was
their inability 10 wait on their
trade. Money was plentiful—
everybody had hunks of it—and
they spent it. About 300 bales
of cotton were marketed. Every-
body seemed to be jolly and good
natured and, although the crowd
was immense, not an arrest was
made or disorderly conduct of any
description reported.
It was a typical Norman and
Cleveland county crowd—happy
contented, lots of money in each
one's pocket and spending it with
a free will that denotes they've
got more in the bank.
Looks as If the Democrats
Their Entire Ticket.
Returns from the precincts on
candidates for county officers are
so conglomerated and unsatisfac-
tory that no reliable figures can
be given. The race between
Messrs. Dudley and Lydick is
very close and will take the offi-
cial count to determine. On the
figures received Mr. Lydick has a
plurality of thirty-four.
R. S. Bryant is elected sheriff
by about 84 over Barker; Stogner's
majority over Reid for register of
deeds is nearly 400; A. Nicodemus
1S elected county attorney, F O
Miller county clerk. Roland
Hughes county treasurer, F. B
Swank county superintendent, N.
,. v>harp probate judge, by plur-
alities of from 200 to 600. The
three democratic county commis
sioners are elected.
1 he county gave a plurality of
about 370 for Matthews over Mc-
Guire.

in tabulated form next week.

such as would affect the brain
In my judgment, the evidence
taken wholly fails to sustain any
such charge.
"My conclusion, therefore, is
fu 1 , result of the investigation,
that the evidence wholly fails to
show either any personal violence
inflicted upon Mrs. Ditmer dur-
ing her confinement in the asy-
lum, or culpable negligence on

of the asylum in the management
of her case. The witnesses testi-
fied freely and fully with regard
to the matter, and there seems to
have been no attempt on the
part of any one to iconceal any
act connected with the case.
It was admitted by the attendants
and parties examined that Mrs
Ditmer did have a number of
bruises upon her head and body
and a cut over one of the eyes',
but their presence was explained
as before stated, to have been the
result of her own contortions dur-
ingthe seizure of an epileptic fit.

i big odds,
Mr. McGuire's re-election is
especially gratifying to The
Transcript. He made a fine
record, and deserves re-election
on that record. He is in harmony
with the national administration,
and therefore in a position to do
things for the territory. His posi-
tion on statehood is right, and he
will do all in his power to secure
this great boon. In its humble
way The Transcript did what it
could to secure his re-election,
and feels that it has a hurrah
coming over the result.

great popularity and how favor-
ably the people regard his per-
sonality and recognize his ability.
In the bitter campaign of preju-
dice and personalities, not a word
was uttered agaiijst his character
and by everybody, friend and foe
alike, he was recognized as a
clean, honorable, upright young
man. He polled a fine vote,
knocking out the big democratic
majority, and carrying some of
he strongholds of the enemy. It
will take the official vote to de-
cide whether or not he is elected.

or not.
